How naive do you have to be to still not see that Democrats and Republicans are all on the same side. The "two sides" are the wealthy and the rest of us. The people in congress are just engaging in kayfabe to keep that thin thread of legitimacy going.
I also find it hilarious that these "BoTh SiDeS" comments make up like 75% of your posting history. It's almost as if you have no thoughts or opinions of your own like you're the equivalent of a political bumper sticker someone slapped on their car two decades ago and then promptly forgot about.
How naive do you have to be to think that a kick in the pants is the same as an atomic explosion?
Yes, democrats favor the rich. Where were the prison camps under Biden? How many universities did Biden bully into silence? How many media corporations did Biden sue into obedience? How many allies did Biden actively threaten? How many bribes did Biden openly and publicly accept? How many women did Biden sexually assault (or brag about assaulting)?
Get the fuck out of here with your both sides bullshit. If you know how to use a dictionary, look up “manichaen” and think about how it applies to your politics, you absolute idiot.
You're just listing a bunch of symptoms of the disease that this Democrat and Republican co-party brought upon us. I see you're still sticking to the belief that these parties are in opposition to one another just because they say so on TV. A lot of people believe professional wrestling is real too, so I can understand where you're coming from even if I find it quite sad to see people expressing such beliefs.
You may want to reread my comment again because I didn't make a "both sides" argument. In fact, I quite clearly stated the only "sides" are the the wealthy and the rest of us.
They are paid
What's the problem, can't make an argument past single sentence ad hominems and short, thought-terminating cliches? That's surely the sign of someone with well reasoned opinions.
Pot calling kettle, pot calling kettle.
